Teddy Bear Song Barbara Fairchild
TeleTickler at netscape.net
[A]I wish I had button eyes and a red felt [D]nose
[E]shaggy cotton skin and just one set of [A]clothes
sittin' on a shelf in a local department [D]store
with [E]no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry [A]for
*Chorus*
[A]I wish I w[A7]as a teddy [D]bear
not livin' or [E]lovin' nor going no[A]where
I wish I w[A7]as a teddy [D]bear
and I'm [A]wishin' that I hadn't [E]fallen in love [A]with you
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
then your memory wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
and I never would've ever had to learn how to cry
I wish I was a teddy bear
not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere
I wish I was a teddy bear
and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
*Key Change - Bb*
I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say
"Hi. I'm Teddy. Ain't it a lovely day?"
Then I'd know everytime I spoke the words were right
and no one would know the mess I made of my life
I wish I was a teddy bear
not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere
I wish I was a teddy bear
and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
